Botanical Mineral Salts (Pink Rose)

Melanie Apple Fields unveiled Voyage et Cie in 2005 after many years cultivating her passion for special moments and how the cherished moments in our life relate to our sense of smell. Melanie comes from a background in fashion design and history and this background informs the timelessness of the fragrances she chooses to highlight. She was born in Montreal but spent much of her childhood traveling and she spent nine years studying and living in Paris. Her travels heavily influence the scents she creates.

Melanie’s education includes the University of Southern California, Parsons School of Design/Fashion Design, College International de Cannes, University of Paris IV: Paris-Sorbonne, and ESMOD Paris School of Fashion. However, she notes her true inspiration does not come from her studies, but rather from observing the world around her and taking in the fragrances that meet her in different towns and cities. Melanie has found inspiration for her fragrances all over the world including Montreal, Malibu, Provence, Positano, Luberon, Paris, and LA. 

Voyage et Cie is a celebration of travel and fragrances from around the world, while simultaneously being a brand fiercely dedicated to quality. Melanie is deeply committed to using only the most high quality ingredients in her products. For her candles, she uses a soy base, but has found a unique combination of apricot oil, coconut oil, and beeswax that blends to create an exceptional candle. In addition to creating a high quality base for her candles, Melanie always chooses the finest elements for her fragrances and all of her products are held to the highest standard of quality craftsmanship. 

Regardless of whether she is dealing with Voyage et Cie candles, bath salts, or fragrances, Melanie is led by a commitment to quality and a reverence for pausing to draw inspiration from her surroundings, wherever in the world she might be.
